Kim & Chang advised a global automobile company on whether the company complied with all statutory requirements (e.g., certification, permits and licenses, and labelling) for importing various products, such as parts, tools and equipment, and accessories.

Our firm reviewed (i) governing statutes and statutory requirements for various product types, such as electrical appliances, household goods, and household chemical products, and (ii) the compliance status of the client company.

This case is notable because our firm systematically reviewed and managed compliance risks involving secondary products (i.e., non-automobiles) that automobile companies often easily overlook.

Based on extensive experience advising clients on various product types, we reviewed the client’s compliance status and devised an effective response strategy.
